GDT: NHL Free Agent Frenzy 2024

Landeskog was supposed to be easy by the late rounds of the playoffs. How is there still runway? Is the runway infinitely long?

No he wasn't, that was always a pipe dream.

Prognosis was 12-16 months. May was 12 months.

Overall that’s a pretty great day 1. Maybe I would’ve signed Jack Johnson or Caleb Jones over CDH but overall I’m super happy

Yeah, I'll reserve judgement until after seeing CDH play a few games for the Avs, but I'm not sure he'll be a better 6/7 option than JJ. Might be hoping for a wash at best, but we'll see.

Another Cmac quote with him just shrugging his shoulders at the question of Rantanen. I'm a bit suspicious.

I'm not watching, but one would imagine CMac come out of the gate saying they are doing everything they can to retain him, if that really is their plan.

Interesting.

Is Wood on the move?

Hmmm, a bit early to be sending 2am texts no?

It's 2am somewhere

Right. You have a player who will be signing one of the largest contracts in the league and you can't say something like "we've had a few talks and expect to get something done."

Florida signed Jesper boqvist, Lorentz going somewhere else?

 

[Cypher]

Janmark back to the Oilers.

They don't even have enough capspace to tender Holloway and Broberg now. 1.33m for a 13th forward and 7th dman. Wonder who they move out.

It's kinda the same with the Leafs, last year Treliving constantly talked about wanting to get Nylander extended, that's the priority and it will get done even if it goes into the season. Nothing like that for Marner so far, just talking about how he's a great player.

[RoyIsALegend]

Ain’t no f***ing way Ben Meyers was able to sign a 1-way contract on July 1st.

What world are we living in?

@dahrougem2 this is crazy

 

[Tommy Shelby]

There aren't many 4C guys left in FA, and even fewer that are better than Wagner. That's a bit concerning

Lmao this guy must have some well connected father or something. Idk how GMs think this guy is an NHLer

MacFarland said “we heard about that” when asked about the charity league Nichushkin will play in while in Russia.

Said to their knowledge, Val is doing rehab work in Russia. They’ll get periodic updates from the league or his agent as directed or if something comes up.

HAHA, I'm f***ing sure.

 

[dahrougem2]

Nuke is banging hookers as we speak while inebriated

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]
